Intense physical and/or mental work reduces stimming

Post Reply New Topic

I find that intense physical or mental work or exercise reduces my stimming. Does anyone else find that?

No.

Intense mental work actually gets me to want to get up and pace.

If I'm intensely doing something on my computer, I'll realize after a while I'm bouncing my knees or my feet, which I suspect is my form of stimming. (I hardly ever flick my fingers and haven't for a long time.)

I need to stim during intense mental work, also to release my creativity

during intense mental work I bounce my leg a lot. And if I'm holding a pen I will click the top over and over again.

After a bout of phsyical exercise though, I do less stimming. Usually I come home and fall on the couch and nap (so there's really no opportunity to stim since I'm sleeping). When I wake up, I'm all back to normal and I start to stim again.

Yes. I've been observing my responses to intense physical exercise of late and it definitely doesn't stop stimming. I think I'm less aware of my own stimming because I'm so focussed on the physical exertion. I do still think it can re-orientate stimming such that stimming does not cease but changes its form. When in my 30s I used to chew hair off my arms up to the elbows; you couldn't have found anything more than a stubble of hair on my arms. After landscaping the garden intensely I stopped this and did not realise it until sometime later when I noticed I had hair on my arms again. I am actually quite hairy. Of course, other stims proceeded.
